The Musculoskeletal Imaging and Orthopaedic Biomechanics (MIOB) Laboratory at the University of Vermont is seeking a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering to start August 2021. The funded student will work in collaboration with researchers and clinicians in engineering, orthopaedics and rehabilitation sciences to study knee joint biomechanics in patients following ACL reconstruction and meniscal resection using state-of-the-art imaging techniques. The incoming student will receive a stipend in the form of research and teaching assistantships as well as a tuition waiver. Please send your questions/CV/resume to the MIOB Lab Director, Dr. Nic Fiorentino, at niccolo.fiorentino@uvm.edu.
Laboratory Overview:
The overarching goal of the MIOB Lab is to improve human health and performance for those who suffer from musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions. MIOB Lab techniques consist of magnetic resonance imaging for musculoskeletal morphometry, quantitative MR metrics for assessment of tissue composition, high-speed x-ray imaging for dynamic bone motion, and computational modeling for articular soft tissue mechanics.
Requirements and Qualifications:
Applicants are expected to have received a B.S. or M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or Bioengineering (additional disciplines will be considered on a case-by-case basis). Applicants demonstrating relevant research experiences, a competitive academic record, excellent communication skills, and/or data acquisition/processing skills will be prioritized. Students with diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Application and Instructions:
Applications are due January 15.
